Dysphagia in Patients With Severe Coronavirus Disease 2019-Potential Neurologic Etiologies.
Article in Critical care explorations, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
importanceDysphagia is a common complication of critical illness, and many known risk factors are also present in critically ill coronavirus disease 2019 victims.
objectivesTo investigate dysphagia in patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019. DESIGN SETTING AND
participantsIn this case series, we report results of dedicated evaluation of swallowing function in six consecutive, tracheotomized coronavirus disease 2019 patients after they had survived acute respiratory distress syndrome and were weaned from the respirator. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Dysphagia was assessed with flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing.
resultsThree patients suffered from severe dysphagia and airway compromise precluding decannulation, whereas in the other, three swallowing was less critically impaired, and the tracheal cannula could be removed. Four patients presented with additional laryngeal dysfunctions not typically seen in acute respiratory distress syndrome survivors. CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE: Dysphagia with impaired airway protection is a key feature in coronavirus disease 2019 acute respiratory distress syndrome survivors. Apart from critical illness polyneuropathy, coronavirus disease 2019-related involvement of the peripheral and central nervous system may contribute to swallowing impairment and laryngeal dysfunction.
